This event has ended.

Chapter NY presents WITH & WIDTH, a three-person exhibition featuring Math Bass, Lauren Davis Fisher and Gordon Hall. This will be the gallery’s first presentation of work by these three artists and will explore a rebounding of the exhibition space through a permeable interplay between paintings and sculptural objects.

Bass, Hall and Fisher all share practices founded in performance, which serves to critically inform their investigations into the complicated relationship between sculptures and props through physical activation, both real and imaged. In this case objects become an extension of the performative act, offering the viewer the opportunity to establish their own physical engagement. Further inciting the viewer to define a spatial dialectic, the artists composed a three-voice script that creates both a choreographed dialogue within the exhibition as well as potential for exterior enactment.

Referencing variable boundaries, Fisher’s subtle wood and plaster replicas of road barriers channel the viewer’s movements, while asserting their facade as objects both physically light, but visually weighted. Adjacent is Hall’s Set VII, a sculpture of angled wood bisects a wall from ceiling to floor, and the sparse appearance is offset with a bright yellow back only visible through a yellow reflection cast upon the wall. Tall and narrow Bass’s Newz! paintings mirror one another on facing walls; they oscillate between the identical and the multiple. Hall’s Step, a mosaicked bench, bridges the void between the two and brings a moment of reflection.
